The Association of Chief Executives and Nous have collaborated on a major new report, the first research of its kind to explore the skills and attributes needed to thrive as an ALB CEO. The report offers insights for Chairs and Government Departments to work well with your CEO, as well as recruit and succession plan optimally.

Read the full report here.

The Nous-ACE report brings together insights from more than 30 interviews and more than 30 survey responses from current and former ALB CEOs, board members and associated experts.

The report identifies the core competencies required of CEOs at arm’s-length bodies: policy leadership skills, corporate leadership skills, sector leadership skills and personal characteristics.

Different groups can use this competency framework and the associated commentary to increase their chances of becoming a CEO, to critically analyse their performance as an ALB leader or to better support the CEOs with whom they work.
